Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureC+
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Drew Kendall a full 69 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Fairchild pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 16 they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
They went early on Bradyn Swinson in the 47th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They talked themselves into Cam Skattebo at Round 3, Pick 14, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild is a better player than pick 115 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on O'Donnell Fortune. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick225 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall in the 225th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
